Westworld was cancelled without an ending as were some of the other shows on this list like Vinyl which was cancelled after 1 season. Personally I liked both shows at times but I kind of get why you'd not want to steer viewers to dead end shows.

I would love for cancelled shows to have the writers create a script or synopsis of where they wanted to take the show so I could get closure.

One show I was in to a while ago was Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle and it was canceled when a new studio head came in. It ended on a cliff hanger.

I think the show "Lost" showed that many shows simply don't have any kind of long-term direction; the writers just make stuff up as they go along.

If that is the justification, then HBO should refund everyone who paid for a product that HBO failed to deliver, and definitely shouldn't sell it to other customers on other platforms.
